For businesses and the common parts of residential buildings, fire safety law is enforced by Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service. The service runs a fire safety helpdesk for businesses but cannot recommend risk assessors. For rented homes and HMOs, Somerset Council handles housing standards and HMO licensing. Regarding additional or selective licensing, we found no such scheme on the council's website, but this is unconfirmed and landlords should check directly with Somerset Council.
Common questions
Who can do a fire risk assessment in Taunton?
Nine firms listed on Fire Safety Finder say they carry out fire risk assessments in the Taunton area. Of those listed across the directory, 10 state some form of third-party certification, seven state BAFE, and three state NSI. There is no legal requirement to use a certified assessor, but the responsible person must ensure the assessor is competent. Since 1 October 2023 the whole assessment and who carried it out must be recorded.
Anywhere in England, a mandatory HMO licence is required for large HMOs housing five or more people from two or more households. Somerset Council administers licensing for Taunton. We found no additional or selective licensing scheme on the council's website, but this is unconfirmed and landlords should check directly with Somerset Council for the current position before letting any property.
Who enforces fire safety for businesses in Taunton?
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety law for businesses and the common parts of residential buildings in Taunton. Their website provides guidance on fire safety law and landlord obligations, and they offer a business safety enquiry service. They cannot recommend specific risk assessors. Somerset Council is responsible for housing standards enforcement in rented homes and HMOs rather than business premises.
How often should a fire alarm in Taunton be serviced?
For BS 5839-1 systems, the interval between inspection and servicing visits should not exceed six months. For HMOs, Grade A systems should be serviced six-monthly under contract, while Grade D systems should be serviced annually. These intervals apply regardless of location, so the same rules apply to premises in Taunton as elsewhere in England.
